August used to be quite the reader. Well, that is if reading bedtime stories with mom counted for that. He seldom read books on his own, let alone novels, but he was literate and was able to decipher most basic words. His penmanship was another story, but he was also able to write a little bit, nonetheless. Reading was a wonderful activity, seeing as it expanded your mind and stretched your imagination beyond worlds. He could be a pirate on the ocean in one book, and travel the world as an adventurer in the next. He quite enjoyed books, but as of late, he hadn't had much time for them. There was too much else to do, from cleaning up the town to settling into his new rank as spark to just meeting new people and getting to know Sunhaven in general.

However, when he had stumbled across a vaguely familiar individual sticking his nose into a book, he couldn't help but grow curious. He tended to be soft-spoken around adults he didn't know, especially when they were minding their own business, but he wouldn't mind right? There was only one way to find out.

August slightly cocked his head, taking a few steps closer. His gaze glanced down from the cover of the book and up to the reader, [glow=black,1,400]"What is that you're reading?"[/glow]
